Grateful that my daughter wasn't hurt worse - but she has to take another day off without pay - I worry aboaut her - she already is in chronic pain despite surgery on her right shoulder and arm -over a year ago.

Graca, so much for being here & listing what you are grateful for today! I hope to see more of your comments!

Darla, it's great to see you on this thread!

Today I am grateful for ...

~ 40 min of overtime at work

~ the Tom Cruise movie I am watching called "The Knight & the Lady" (very action-packed)

~ the sun was shining today, so it was warmer even though the wind was blowing

~ the landlord told my roommate she has until 12pm tomorrow when he will move all of her things onto the lawn (which she agreed to), & she is staying at a hotel tonight, which makes it alot less tense here in the apt.

~ love & laughter

My only reason for not experiencing bliss at this very momentis thinking about what I don't have.- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Don't ever feel guilty that you have enought or more than enough to eat Pat - it is not your fault that some don't - we are blessed to have food and that is why I am grateful for it and try and eat well and always give thanks for it - I remember a time I was student teaching and only had an apple to eat for my lunches - with a PT job only, a child, divorced and student teaching where you don't get paid - couldn't afford any more -

Darla, at least you're only repeating yourself, not just copying & pasting a previous post like I did!

Vallee, I am grateful that you made it thru that challenging time & are not in it anymore!

Patricia, I agree w/ Vallee - please don't feel guilty about having enough to eat! You don't have that challenge, but you have other challenges. I believe that it all balances out in the end, because We R ONE.

Today I am grateful for ...

~ talking to Vallee on the phone

~ the roommate being out of the apt.(though she still has alot of stuff out on the lawn)

~ that even tho I dropped my bus pass 3 times today (because I was wearing gloves), I realized I had dropped it & found it on the ground. From now on, I'll pull my glove off before I take it out.

~ I got the last 2 pairs of insulated gloves at the $1 store

~ the sun coming out this afternoon & it being 51 degrees today

~ my computer

Forgiving others is a gift to yourself,given not because the other deserves pardon,but because you deserve the serenity and joythat comes from releasing resentment and anger,and from embracing universal forgiveness.- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
